Washington D.C. art journalist Tyler Green, who pens Modern Art Notes, organized nearly two dozen art blogs and websites to help build support for the DIA. Green is asking the art community and supporters to post their favorite piece from the collections at the DIA using the hashtag #DayDetroit.

I proposed to my wife in the Rivera Court @DIADetroit. Can't imagine my daughter not being able to see the murals. #DayDetroit

As the hashtag grows more institutions and museums have joined the social media buzz in support of the DIA including. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, Queens Museum of Art and Studio Museum Harlem have all tweeted in support of the DIA. @DIADetroit has replied to many thanking them for their support.

"In an effort to spotlight the collections at the Detroit Institute of Arts that would be lost if the threatened sale of art in collections at the DIA are sold, all day long Modern Art Notes and many other sites will be featuring art at the DIA. I hope this will help highlight both the collection at the DIA and the access we have to Detroit’s art. I think that the more people think about what’s at the DIA, the more concerned they’ll be about what could happen there."
